*dies and is dead*

I have now officially survived my first (most of a) year as a high school teacher! *applause* The last three weeks have sucked SO hard, oh my god. It's a good thing that I love the teaching, because the marking for high school English courses has nothing whatsoever to recommend it. MARKING IS THE DEVIL. FOR SERIOUS.

But now I am on summer vacation! Which is also known as unemployment since I was covering a maternity leave and have absolutely nothing lined up for next year, but I absolutely do not need to care about that for at least a month. I shall be applying to stuff as it comes and I shall worry about that shit after I've had a break and caught up on all the stuff which I haven't been doing.

For instance! I have masses of absolutely lovely comments to respond to (I haven't been ignoring you, I swear), my most recent J2 story to crosspost, two anon Sherlock stories to post, all the bigbang stories that I have saved to read and the challenge of turning my bigbang disaster draft into a real story to get started on. I may also do a prompts request sometime in the next little while, though, because I have done almost no writing this year and I miss it. Y'all will help me out, I hope. :)

Now I am off to a birthday party and tomorrow I am going to World Pride with a friend and THEN on Monday I am getting on to LJ stuffs. Huzzah!

TL;DR Fuck yeah, summer vacation!

Good to see you back, bb! And yay for surviving the teaching of (ack!) teenagers! /o\

the marking for high school English courses has nothing whatsoever to recommend it.

I've seen the things my teenaged nephews write for their English courses and I do not envy you. At all.

But speaking of writing . . . I wish to read your wonderful J2BB NOW, please. Hand it over. :D

It is a special breed of frustrating, marking high school English assignments. The rest of the job is great, though, aside from the no sleep thing.

*laughs* Well, I could, but you might subsequently kill me because the ending isn't exactly... satisfying at present. You're a fan of cliffhangers, right? :D

You're a fan of cliffhangers, right?

You write it, I'll read it, bb. Cliffhangers are cool! :D

Pshaw! You are awfully good for my ego, hon.

You should maybe check your email before you commit to that idea, though. :)

I SAW.

You're a big ole meanie. Meanie, I say.

Gotta admire your talent for creating such a huge emotional effect with such a small passage, though. Rock ON!

*halo* No idea what you're talking about.

Congrats on surviving! You deserve a nice long break!

Thank you! I am trying to be very good about actually doing something with my time rather than just sitting in front of the computer for the next two months. We'll see how that goes. ^_^;

Also, I always love that icon; Jensen looking after his boy who can't be trusted to dress himself! :)

I am selfishly very happy your semester is now over ;-)

Glad you're finally getting your head up out of the water to breathe!

*deep gasp* I hardly even know what to do with myself. Probably it isn't veg out in front of the computer all day every day. I want to accomplish All the Things!

I am here for you, bb! Just say the word!

A big congrats on finishing your first year of teaching! Enjoy your very well deserved break :)

[cleflink.livejournal.com]

Thank you, my dear! I haven't felt this well-rested in two months. Now to do All the Things that I've been ignoring!

^_^

[cleflink.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I have decided that I am not even thinking about jobs for at least a month. I have a summer vacation to enjoy before job stress takes over. :)
